To the many hardworking people who make my life great. My agricultural friends, our quiet heroes! As I start my day with apple or orange juice. Then my cereal which is usually rolled oats or Sunny Boy, with yellow sugar and milk, and bread with butter and a friend’s homemade jam, and coffee with cream. And don’t forget the bacon and eggs, and all those other delicious foods. The list goes on. Where did all that come from? Did you know that farmers are trying
to seed their crops, but also there are many who need to finish harvesting last year’s crop? Wow! And also my dear Vegrevillians, when the farmers do well they spend, as we all do well! The contrary is also true! So cheers to my family, friends, neighbours and all of you who make living a joyous experience. Lovingly from an elderly lady on an acreage who misses kind greetings and gentle hugs in town. May God guide and help us all in these interesting times! Elizabeth L. Giebelhaus
